OUR COUNTRY'S VITAL NEED. Men with a quickened sense of national responsibility, who will galvanizo Into Immediate action those who consider this war Incidental Instead of crucial the better that every phase of it may bo v'gorbusly prosecuted regardless of their personal sacrifice.
WHY IMMUNITY FOR COX? For several days now we have been waiting patiently to hear of the arrest and incarceration of Governor Cox. of Ohio. And thus far we have waited In vain. Governor Cox. during a war which is the greatest upon which our count r ever entered and whose outcome vitally affects our national life, has seen fit openly and boastfully to defy one of the war orders of the federal government. He has declared that the federal government can go han5 and that' as governor of Ohio he proposes to do as he pleases even though in so doing he runs contrary to the mandates of Washington, says the Fort Wayne News. During war times it has been the custom of our government to enforce the strict compliance of officials and privaate citizens with its laws and orders. Those who have dared to disobey have been subjected to drastic punishment and all have been given to understand that to oppose the nation's laws during war is treason. During the past few weeks a number of obscure citizens have been sent tp prison for uttering words, which in peace times would be overlooked, and only a few days ago thirteen soldiers were courtmartialed and hanged without even the benefit of appeal for a rebellious outbreak against what they considered an injustice.
Yet here we have the governor of a great state a man whose influence carries far snapping his fingers in the face of the Washington government and laughing its authortiy to scorn. When the governor of Ohio does this thing and is allowed to get away with it. should our rulers at Washington be surprised if they find private citizens restive, resentful, and rebellious The force of notable example carries far, and when a governor flouts the federal power men less conspicuous are encouraged to do likeswise. So long as Dictator Garfield holds office and issues legal orders, it is the duty of Governor Cox and every other citizen of the country to yield obedience. Regardless of what may be our opinion of Garfield or of Garfield's orders, our duty is plain, and a governor who rebels is infinitely a greater offender than would be one of less prominence and smaller influence, i Why isn't Governor Cox placed under arrest and subjected to that punishment his conduct has invited and justified? ,

HYGIENE EYES DISHWASHING. Just when we begin to think the world hygienically perfect along comes an editorial writer in a medical journal, who figures that there's a great deal of bacteria at large because if imperfect conditions in dishwashing. His argument needs no great support perhaps as far as restaurants are concerned if they do not use real hot water, frequently change the water and have clean towels. The danger often exists in the home, if enough soap is not used or if the water is not warm enough to down bacteria breeding elements. We really gain health by watching the little details. Swattins the fly. washing one's hands before eating" or after being in the toilet, drinking pure water, cleaning the teeth and a hundred and one other little things all help to reduce the typhoid and death rate. The world made a great advance when it began to use butter knives for there are still sundry individuals who eat with their knives. They belong to a back century. Having hygienists worrying about the dish water may seen odd now, but a few years back who worried about flies ? Now we all worry about them and the undertasers don't have half as much to do as thev used to.

Don't Send Medical Students to the War
By Dr. Henry A. Christiaa
THE BIBLE AND THE WAB. No matter how well educated or how well read a person may be one now finds his education deficient if one is not acquainted with the bible. Without biblical knowledge there is little pleasure in following the trend of military events either in Mesopotamia or Palestine. While one may be v.-oil versed In the singular history of the crusades, the dramatic occurrences that thrilled men through several centuries, yet what is all the pageantry and tableaux of
the middle ages as compared with the broad canvas that the bible unfolds ? j Let the Peter, the Hermits, the popes, the counts, the dukes, the Richards, ! the Ttniillinns the Mustafa tho MiiraHa " nnrl tha i Vnct'i.linn. !
to -valor and their seats in history. Rut they and their times pale before the grander array of Ruth. Mary, Isaac, Samson, Joseph. John the Baptist and the greatest of all men, Jesus Christ- The story of any of the biblical characters offers more interesting revelations, tenser situations and a broader background than all of the dramas from Godfrey to Allcnsby.
BUNGLING BURLESON. Postmaster General Burleson renews his demand for government ownership of the telephones and telegraphs of the country. This would be a risky expedient at any time; and it would be especially so now, when (he Pot;tofflce Department, as administered by Mr. Burleson, is at its lowest ebb or efficlencv and at almost a hlghwater mark of expense, ("lever book-keeping may enable Mr. Burleson to show paper economies in the operation of his department, but the fact remains that the postal service was nver so demoralized as it is now. The esprit de corps of postal employees has been almost destroyed; ap.d the censure which the American Federation of Labor has passed upon the Postmaster General is indicative of the condition which Mr. Burleson's methods have produced. When he cannot run the department with such duties as it now has, it would be the height of folly to givr him also the duty of rutnin? the telephqnes and telegraphs.
The government must not send the nation's medical students to war as ordinary soldiers or in any capacity, for that matter. France and England now realize their mistake of two and three years ago in taking the students from schools and putting them into the armies. The medical students of today are the physicians of the future. As the students are reduced in number, so will the supply of physicians fchrink. War demands many medical men. Seven to ten doctors per 1,000 soldiers is stated as the requirement of our army. With an army in the field no fewer medical men are needed at home, for the soldier as the healthy young man in the community makes but little demand for medical service so long as lie is a civilian. Hence the present would seem a poor time to reduce the supply of physicians. The medical student following graduation spends one or two years as an interne or house officer in the hospitals of the country. Large hospitals must have house officers or close their doors. Already men for such positions are scarce, owing to the demands made by the war and navy department for such men. If the supply is further reduced by drafting medical studenis, hospitals must curtail their work and treat fewer patients in the near future. Furthermore medical students, while still undergraduates, as part of their medical instruction, do much work in the hospitals under the supervision of the house officers and their teachers on the visiting staff. To decrease by draft the number of medical students would hamper directly hospital work by decreasing the number of available student assistants and this would be serious to hospitals.

Curses Are Fighting ? Winning Fight Against Pneumonia.
HOME CAT2E OF
PNEUMONIA MF.AN.S
aCA.J2.EFUL INSTRUCTION
In the office of the Henry street set.lement cn the lower East side of New York there is a war map of New l'ork city. It is different both in purose sad appearance from the war nap of Europe.' It is a peace time -ar map. but it depicts the advances igainst pneumonia, one of the worst enemies of mankind. Just as those naps of the western front picture the jrogress against the imperialistic enemy of democracy. This peace time ar map shows graphically the need or replenishing the war-decimated anks of our army of nurses Just as hose wavering and ever changing tines on the face of Europe arjue for teeping our army up to full strength. This map m the ""House cn Henry itret" was made under the direction of Miss Lillian D. Wald. director of the Henry Street settlement, who Is one of the foremost leaders ot the increasing army of public health nurses.
The curses of the "House on Henry I street" are striving to remake this pneumonia map Just as the contending armies are striving to remake the map ot Europe. Each blue headed pin represents a case of pneumonia that the nurses, under the direction of a physician, have cared for in the patient's home. Each black headed pin represents a death. In certain sections of the East side, particularly where the Italians live, these pins are clustered so closely that there Is literally not room for a pin point between them. The map is a constant reminder to the nurses of the task they have set before themselves. This is to get rid of the black pins entirely and gradually to eliminate the blue pins. Last year the Ilenry Street settlement bad more cases of pneumonia under its care than all hospitals of the city put together. The nurses In their house to house visits cared for 3.9SS, while the records of the hospitals totaled 1,304. Most &i the home care glren C-

nurses was among the Italians snd foreign born Jews. About 4t: per cent, of the cases were babies under two years and 70 per cenL were chillren under five. Home care of pneumonia l not asy to give. The nurse must have inSnite patience. She must convince the mother that fresh air is Imperative. She must persuade her that bathing will be more likely to save the baby than to kill it. She must also fight for open windows as well a? for cleanliness. She must make two or three calls a day in the early stages of the disease and she must supervise the administration of all medicine. While this all means Hard work the results have been gratifying Of the 3,988 cases cared for by the Henry street nurses last winter, 3,573 were cured. The case death rate was 8.67 per cent., which was much lower than that of the hospitals. Altogether the effects of home care of pneumonia have been so satisfactory that the nurses believe that their ultimate goal, ths elimination cf v&e blue and black pins, ib within the possibilities of the future.
